Pastor Mimi Kim highlights the importance of our attitude towards Jesus. Are we fickle like the crowds, who joyfully welcome Jesus on Palm Sunday but are shouting for His crucifixion by Friday? Or are we obedient like the disciples and therefore used for God’s purpose?

Scripture: Mark 11:1-11

Pastor Kyu Kim challenges us to keep on asking, seeking, and knocking as we pray to God. Despite receiving a series of “No” replies, the Gentile woman persisted to draw closer to Jesus with her request. Because of God’s mercy, He relented and granted her prayer.

Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28

Pastor Kyu Kim speaks about the conflict of the flesh with the Spirit living within us as he continues last week’s message. The Spirit conquers the desires of the flesh so that we may be restored to God’s image in order to have communion and fellowship with God.

Pastor Kyu Kim reminds us that God commands us to walk by His Spirit and contrasts the deeds of the flesh with the fruits of the spirit. We are on a journey with the Holy Spirit: let us walk with God and be transformed as we let the Spirit influence and change us.

Pastor Mimi Kim teaches from the book of Job and explores why we as Christians still undergo suffering in our lives. In any suffering we face, we must know that God is good and that His work is for our good. Let us be faithful and remember that everything pales compared to a personal encounter with God.

Pastor Kyu Kim teaches on being born in the Spirit so that we may be saved and have an intimate relation with God. Salvation is not about our effort, but about God’s great work for us. Therefore we should walk and grow in the Spirit as those God has already adopted and empowered. Abba! Father!

Pastor Kyu Kim reminds us that we are living in a new age, where we walk in the Spirit in all aspects of our life. During the old covenant, the Holy Spirit came upon only some people for a particular time and purpose. But as promised in Joel 2:28-29, God poured out his Spirit on all people that we may be transformed with a new heart and new spirit.

Pastor Carlos Reyes asks us to assess our walk with the Holy Spirit on this Pentecost Sunday. We are taught about why the Holy Spirit came and how it works in His people. Though we are not yet perfect, we must start functioning in the kingdom by being witnesses for the Lord.

Carlos Reyes is the pastor at NorthStar Church in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Su Kim reminds us that “We are Citizens of Heaven” and that the things of this earth cannot satisfy. We are not perfect, but we know that God accepts us because of the cross. Therefore, we are called to imitate Jesus, the perfect example of humility, and mature Christians, our fellow citizens of heaven.
